Having provided thousands of people from around the world with top-quality critical tours for over 15 years, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) is widely known for its knowledgeable tour guides and its grounded approach to the politics of Occupation and the difficulties of Palestinian life. On our tours you will see how Israels settlement project has created irreversible facts on the ground. You will better appreciate what a truly just and lasting peace would entail. If you wish, you can meet Palestinian families suffering under Israeli policies of separation and home demolitions. ICAHD believes that first-hand learning is the only way to grasp the social, cultural, political, and historical issues that underlie the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) is an Israeli peace and human rights organization established in 1997 to end Israel's Occupation of Palestine and to advance a just peace between the two peoples.

Our Tours
East Jerusalem Tour
Visit the settlements in East Jerusalem and the Palestinian neighborhoods threatened with takeover by Israeli settlers, the Separation Wall, the segregated Israeli roads that connect to Jewish settlements while isolating Palestinian neighborhoods, and see Palestinian homes demolished by Israel. Explore Jabel Mukaber, Silwan, Shiekh Jarrah, and Ras al-Amod to witness first-hand the Israeli policy of ethnic displacement and the disparity between the quality of life provided for Palestinians and that enjoyed by Israelis in Jerusalem.
3 hours / 150 ILS per person.
Tours take place in spring and autumn, and usually last for 11 days. Shorter thematic tours cater to specific interests and include healthcare and international law. Contact for more information and pricing.
Beit Arabiya
Located in the West Bank, on the outskirts of the village of Anata, just to the northeast of Jerusalem, Beit Arabiya is a living symbol of resistance to Occupation and the desire for justice and peace. As its name suggests, Beit Arabyia s a home belonging to Arabiya Shawamreh, her husband Salim and their seven children, a Palestinian family whose home has been demolished four times by the Israeli authorities and rebuilt each time by ICAHDs Palestinian, Israeli and international peace activists. The home is still threatened, but Arabiya and Salim have dedicated it as a center for community empowerment. Beit Arabyia provides a welcoming and functional setting accessible to everyone. It can accommodate up to 150 people, and provides home-cooked Palestinian refreshments.
